RESUMO
In Martinique, among 9 HIV carriers recently diagnosed with early syphilis, 7 had biologic cholestasis. Less than half of the patients had been diagnosed on clinical grounds for syphilis (cutaneous eruption or syphilis in partner), whereas most of them were diagnosed on a systematic screening of HIV infected patients.
